Ashore. First solo solve. Can't wait to see how quickly my family can solve.

If you see I'm ashore and need a nudge, feel free to message me.

On shore. Wow, this was really a fun one. Is it possible that we are finally getting the hang of these?

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore in a heartbeat. Saw it all the way. It’s nice to not feel dumb, particularly since I am on vacation in El Salvador. Time for a cervesa.

Another revelation in my favorite place! Probably an easier one, but I do not look a gift meta in the mouth. Count me ashore please, and waiting on this upcoming week 3 MGWCC.

Ah... from the classic Dr. Seuss book, "One drink, Two drinks, I'm not as thunk as you drink!"
Or that old classic:

I will drink Gewürzt with Ham,
I'll drink it I don't give a damn,
but then I'd drink some Riesling too,
I'd even drink it from my shoe.
I'd drink it off the tabletop,
I wouldn't even try to stop

But what would you then have with game?
Why a Cote du Rhône if its all the same.

I'd have it in a pretty mug,
I'd drink it right out of a jug.
I'd drink it from a cardboard box,
I'd love to drink it with a fox

Ashore. Took. Little while but got a scent and followed it. Fun one.

Oh, this puzzle is going to make me sound so smart some day on Jeopardy. I'll blurt out the answer and my wife will do her "What, did you see this one before?" like she does whenever I manage to get a really odd question. I cannot tell you how many times my crossword addiction has given me the answer.

On shore. Took me longer than you all. Don’t do the puzzle when you’re tired!
